Mam i Teca is a little Spanish bar in the district of El Raval, with three or four tables and capacity to host no more than 10 guests at a time. And unless you consult a city guide for some urban inspiration, you are not likely to bump into it as you cross the street.

A nice place to savour in some spanish classics, even if you probably did already. I strongly recommend the Catalan sausage with bean mash.

It's not necessarily awesome to be in a city during a traditional holiday. But if it's the traditional midsummer party where people sing, play, drink and celebrate like mad with big bonfires, firecrackers and fireworks on streets, squares, and even the beach - that's cool.

June 23th is the night to be in Barcelona and join the crowds celebrate in the honor of St. John the Baptist.

No pics from the parties unfortunately -were to wasted to shoot any, but these I presume were taking place for the same reason.

Parc de la Ciutadella is located in the southeast part of the city, on the left from Barcelonata subway station. According to wiki, it's supposed to be the second largest park in Barcelona. It is actually situated in the place of the old military citadel which houses the Parliament building, a lake, a waterfall, several museums and a zoo (which we passed).

In the middle of the day we were already too tired for futher walking of any kind, so we decided to take a break in stead.

Port Vellis a major touristic attraction in Barcelona, housing Maremàgnum (an otherwise standard shopping mall that stands out with the most terrific sea view a mall can have), the IMAX Port Vell as well as Europe's largest aquarium L'àquarium.

From the south end of La Rambla, walk the connecting Rambla del Mar to reach Port Vell.
